Hello! I have a solid concrete dome home, so the walls eventually curve up to become the roof. The exterior has been painted with at least one coat of Conflex XL before we bought the home. It now has a lot of water filled bubbles and peeling. We'd like to remove all of it and start fresh but some of it is very tight to the concrete even though other parts nearby peel off like a sheet of rubber.
What can we use to most easily remove Conflex XL Elastomeric to start fresh from bare concrete? We have tried several strippers and sanders. We find that strippers don't permeate the paint well enough and with sanders, the paint heats up, rubberizes and becomes gummy and stuck on to the house and tools.
Also we were considering using Henry 208 and 208R on different parts of the house to waterproof problem areas, should those areas be prepped down to bare concrete?
Any experienced ideas?
Thanks!!
